BlizzardNole Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Except for missing thunderstorms, this has not been a bad summer at all. So far only three 95 degree days at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far only three 95 degree days at DCA. I think if we could poll the group we'd find a lot with very reasonably cool high temps this year (so far). I think some of the Virginians especially. I had one 94f day at my station as the hottest, so far. 91f yesterday. Oh yeah....I'm missing plenty of T-storms too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to 96 in Reisterstown yesterday. For all the gird over BWI's temp sensor, it's not out to lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not yesterday, but it’s definitely registering consistently higher temperatures than others in the area, and higher compared to what it used to.

I'm aware of the drama surrounding it. On the bigger heat days it seems whatever boost that may occur is muted compared to days when you're looking to scrape out a 90.

Yeah, this hasn't been an excessively hot summer at all for DC standards. Actually, quite 'average'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or post maps Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 449 PM EDT Wed Jul 28 2021 Valid 12Z Sat Jul 31 2021 - 12Z Wed Aug 04 2021 ...Widespread Monsoonal Moisture and Rainfall Pattern over the West... ...Heavy Convection/Rainfall Threat for the South/Southeast/Southern Mid-Atlantic... 18Z Update: The western U.S. ridge and the downstream trough over the central/eastern U.S. is expected to remain anchored in place through the medium range period, with the Atlantic upper ridge blocking eastward progression. There is some hint in the guidance that an upper low could develop over portions of the Ohio Valley by the middle of next week, mainly with the operational GFS and ECMWF, as some flow separation in the trough could develop. This could have some ramifications on the extent of the potential heavy rainfall across the Southeast and the southern Appalachians. One of the main changes with the QPF is for higher totals across portions of the Carolinas, owing to the block pattern developing and a quasi-stationary front over this region. Otherwise, the guidance is in above average agreement on most of the synoptic scale aspects, with the greatest differences evident across the northeast Pacific and the Hudson Bay region by the end of the forecast period. The previous discussion is appended below for reference. /Hamrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Got excited by radar that showed a small, but red/ orange cell that bullseyed my house around 5 pm. Got home at 7 to find literally no trace and .05" in the bucket. I swear to Christ this place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I thought that colliding outflow and bay breeze front might initiate something. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino16 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 There’s still been no rain here recently, other than the pavement wetter the day before yesterday I think it was. Home on the other hand has had much more rain, and a STW right now. Maybe I’ll get something here in a bit, but not too enthusiastic.

CAPE Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Regardless of what happens(or doesn't)today, the pattern for this weekend into next week will deliver some stellar weather. Probably doesn't get any better for early August as advertised. We will probably never see anything like this during winter. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Glancing at radar and looping it - appears to me the MCS in Ohio doesn't screw things up really for areas south and west either (cross thread reference to LWX morning disco) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest PWS hasn't reported yet, but there's one not too far away (just to the NNE) that came in with just under an inch. I'm thinking we went a little over that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
